Mama Bloome

Every mama deserves the opportunity to bloome into her best, confident and well informed self as she approaches her labour and the arrival of bubba.

Believe in yourself and trust your body, she knows what she’s doing.

It’s time for all mothers to take back control. It’s time for every mother to embrace her feminine power and to leap forward in confidence.

An informed woman is a powerful woman.

It’s time. Take back your control.

Trust in You.

You already have what it takes. The body can withstand almost anything, it is the mind you must convince.

If you make the conscious effort to train the mind and choose to believe in your own power.. you may find yourself better equipped and mentally prepared for whatever direction your birth may take.

The mind is one of the most powerful tools for pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

Birth and pregnancy can be a unique journey for every mother and while we encourage you to set birth intentions and preferences, it is also very beneficial to familiarise yourself with the decision making tool commonly referred to as B.R.A.I.N. (benefits, risks, alternatives, intuition & nothing)

BENEFITS
What are the benefits of this course of action? What are the positive impacts of this intervention?

RISKS
What are the risks? What are the possible negative repercussions for myself and my baby?

ALTERNATIVES
What are the alternatives to this intervention?

INTUITION
Follow your intuition, what is your gut instinct telling you? What are the implications of this course of action? Will this contribute to the likelihood of further intervention?

NOTHING
What if we do nothing? Can we negotiate on how long we delay this intervention?

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.

A positive birth is possible. A calm birth is possible. Never doubt either of these possibilities. Birth may take many different twists and turns on the journey to meeting your baby but it is up to you to begin with choices of courage over fear.

Don’t doubt yourself Mama, the world needs who you were made to be.

There are a lot of opinions that get thrown around in regards to birth plans… so do you or don’t you need one?

Firstly everyone has the right to approach their birth how they wish and should never feel pressured into preparing a certain way. It’s your birth and your decision how you approach it. Secondly... we prefer to refer to this preparation as setting ‘birth preferences’ or ‘birth intentions’.

Birth can take many turns and being well informed and confident in your ability to make decisions that are best for yourself and your baby will contribute to your ability to embrace a positive and calm birth. This is relevant for BOTH vaginal or caesarean births, which are both equally as important and courageous.

If you have a set of preferences or intentions for your birth, then you are better equipped to make calm, informed decisions whilst in labour or in the lead up to your birth. It also provides the opportunity for your birthing partner to advocate for you with confidence.

So do you or don’t you need a set of birth preferences? This decision is completely up to you, Mama!

Tomorrow is a direct result of what you choose to do today.

Working on a positive mindset takes practice and consistency. This is an amazing habit to work on, not only as you draw closer to your birth, but also parenthood.

You have what it takes mama, you just need to believe.✨

I would say let’s re-introduce myself.. but I have never really shown my face or mentioned myself on here before. I don’t see myself as the face of Mama Bloome and I much prefer to be behind the camera, rather than in front of it, but here we go.. 🙈

My name is Peta, I’m a mother of two and am extremely passionate about women birthing in peace and power. I have a creative background, graduating from Whitehouse Institute of Design with a bachelor of design in styling & creative direction and have spent the last 13 years working predominantly in the fashion industry across digital marketing, e-commerce and buying.

After I had my first child in 2019, I realised not every mother had such a beautiful birth as I did and there was in fact a horrifying dialogue and lack of support for birthing families. My love and passion for fertility, pregnancy and birth kicked in a few years before we conceived our first child so I had become well educated and slightly obsessed with staying informed and embracing my power as a birthing mother.

So now as I navigate motherhood, I am blending my creative skills and experience with my passion for birth. If I can just help one mother change her inner dialogue from fear to strength and embrace her power to birth, my job here is done.

We are all capable, we are all worthy.
